Overview
In many ways, emotions guide our lives. As such, they play a significant role in any form of therapy. This workshop, specifically designed for clinicians by Dr. Les Greenberg, one of the primary developers of Emotion-Focused Therapy, will provide you with multiple techniques for identifying dysfunctional emotional patterns, promoting adaptive emotional expression and facilitating emotional regulation in your clients.
He will explain the role of primary and secondary emotion, adaptive and maladaptive emotion as well as productive and unproductive emotional processing. The key principles and advanced methods for changing emotion will be presented in depth, enriched by videos of therapy sessions and clinical presentations.
Dr. Greenberg will also demonstrate the role of memory consolidation in changing emotion with emotion and present strategies of moment-by-moment attunement to affect, and the use of two chair methods of dialoguing with parts of self and imagined significant others in order to access emotions.
Additionally, this training will explore:
- The development of emotions schemes
- The interaction between the affective system and meaning construction
- The role of first narratives in coded experience and the storying of affect
- How emotions are generated at different levels and their components
- How to identify the core painful emotion
- The different models of emotional processing
- The 6 major emotional change processes
- Various interventions strategies guided by differential emotion assessment
- How to access alternate emotion
- And much more…
